Lawsuit Over “Glitch” Could Mean Green Cards for 22,000-15 Million of America’s Enemies
Get ready to bend over for tens of thousands, possibly tens of millions, of new, mostly Muslim ANOs (Americans in Name Only) (pronounced, “Anus”). Kenneth White is the ANOL–Americans in Name Only Lawyer. Thank Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and their America-hating State Department incompetents for screwing this up and creating a ripe opportunity for scumbags to take advantage. G-d knows, our borders aren’t wide open enough.

More about this suit. Told ya so, and sadly, I was right. Only in America:

A lawsuit has been filed against the State Department in federal court seeking to reinstate thousands of potential green-card winners whose chance of obtaining U.S. residency was scuttled because of a government computer error.

A record 15 million people from around the world submitted entries to the so-called diversity visa program lottery, which each year offers a quick path to a green card for 50,000 people selected by random draw.

In early May, the State Department notified 22,000 people they were chosen. But soon after, it informed them the electronic draw would have to be held again because a computer glitch caused 90% of the winners to be selected from the first two days of applications instead of the entire 30-day registration period. The government told affected individuals they would be re-entered in a new draw.

The lawsuit, filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Washington, seeks class-action status and names plaintiffs from more than 20 countries. The suit asks that the U.S. government restore its “broken commitment,” stating that chosen individuals had “lawfully and properly” followed rules set forth by the State Department and thought they were among the “lucky few” selected to proceed with the green-card application.

David Donahue, a deputy assistant secretary of state who oversees the program, said the original draw was voided because it “did not represent a fair, random selection of entrants as required by U.S. law,” according to a State Department website.

The lawsuit contends the “outcome was indeed not uniform, but nevertheless still random as required by law.”

Under the program, visas are made available to applicants from countries with low rates of immigration to the U.S. Winners have a shot at settling in the U.S. without a family member or employer as a sponsor, the usual routes to obtaining permanent residency.

Disenchanted applicants from across the globe created a Facebook page dubbed “22,000 Tears” and began collecting signatures for letters to the State Department and U.S. lawmakers in protest. In an email to a reporter, an applicant from Egypt threatened to kill himself if he wasn’t reinstated.

Huh? Only 22,000 tears? Cry me a river. I guarantee you the many American victims of aliens–specifically the largely third-world, mostly Muslim aliens–who eventually come here, take their jobs, honor kill people, etc. have shed far more than 22,000 tears.

The State Department’s inspector general said earlier this month a team would be assembled to review the situation. A spokesman said Monday the review should be finished within weeks.

Los Angeles attorney Kenneth White, who is representing the individuals in the suit pro-bono, said “the basis of this case is deep-rooted in the simple and enduring American value that ‘our word is our bond.”‘ . . .

Launched in 1990 to promote diversity in the immigrant population, the green-card lottery is now open to people from almost anywhere in the world, except countries that already have a large number of nationals in the U.S., including Mexico, China, India and the Philippines. No special skills are required beyond a high-school diploma. Lottery winners eventually qualify for U.S. citizenship. . . .

Critics say the program poses security risks, lures uneducated immigrants and enables individuals with no connection to the U.S. to get into the country more quickly than those sponsored by relatives and employers. Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R., Va.) has introduced legislation to abolish it.

Good for Goodlatte. Now where are the other Republicans who control the House? Why aren’t they moving this forward for a vote while the iron is hot?

Oh, yeah, because they are frauds who really couldn’t care less about securing our borders and ending entitlements to these new “Americans” In Name Only (AINOs).

Anyway, bend over, ‘cuz this lawsuit will probably not end well . . . for Americans.

And, FYI, the lawyer is no dummy. For PR purposes, he filed the suit seeking class action status on behalf of Armande Gil, a French neuropsychologist. But most of the people who applied for and received the false confirmation that they’d get green cards are unskilled Muslims without so much as a high school degree in the Third World, as I showed in the graph above, when I first wrote about this.

Immigration lawsuits are all about smoke and mirrors. And so are lawyers, especially immigration lawyers. But you knew that.

LA, if you followed the rules and were notified you won and a computer glitch was discovered later, that’s cheating by those who ran the lottery. You shouldn’t be penalized for following the rules. The State Department screwed up here, not the people who entered the lottery. I agree with Debbie btw, it shouldn’t exist but it does and its not good enough to say, “oops, I’m sorry, it was a computer glitch,” therefore you aren’t eligible anymore. Yeah, if I was in the other kind of lottery and I won, I wouldn’t buy the BS argument I was at fault. And neither would any one else.

There is one flaw in the legal reasoning when you say that these people have a good case…they have no standing. They have no absolute constitutional right to enter the US. If the US withdraws an invitation to enter, that is our prerogative.

Jon, I think you’re right but with the judges we have on our courts today, it would be interesting to see if the doctrine of sovereign immunity trumps a visa invitation. I agree it does but would any one from the Justice Department assert it before the courts? Foreign nationals do not for the record, have an entitlement to enter America. It a privilege that may be declined or revoked for no reason given. A sovereign country has the absolute right to control its borders.

But diversity is such a great thing. It my fault when I go into a restaurant in Idaho and I don’t speak Spanish. We need to take care of everyone and deal with all of their problems. If you hate us, come to our country and hate us here. If you want to kill us, I am sure it is our own fault. You just want to be happy while you are raping and blowing sh*t up. It is racist to ask them to follow the laws, assimilate and chip in a little. In fact, we should no longer teach English or American History and only focus on other third world hell holes. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself

The only reason to allow immigrants is to bring people here who have special skills or assets that benefit the country and make it stronger. Religion aside, this country doesn’t need more unskilled immigrants. They are ultimately supported by the taxpayers.

We are over, America is done. Stick a knife in us. In another 20-30 years America will no longer exist. Thanks to Teddy Kennedy we are changing the very face of America to that of the Third World. May he burn in Hell.

Jon, I agree with you. It is the one thorn I have in my side about Reagan, which has allowed this notion to grant amnesty to future illegals. Granted, he was promised tougher immigration laws would be enacted and enforced if he went along with the Democrat’s amnesty program but he should have known better since he knew he was dealing with Democrats.

I also agree that the plaintiffs do not have legal standing.

What perplexes me is that I thought we, the US, were excrement in the eyes of the world (hence, Obama’s continuous US degradation, apology and butt-kissing tour). So, why do people still want to come here?

Not likely an accident, just as “Gunwalker” was no accident. The picture starting to make itself clear with each incident, from our Border Patrol Agents fighting with bean bags, against guns the ATFE was ordered to let go to the Drug Cartel, to the anti-Israel insults and what looks like maneuvering to get them invaded under “responsibility to protect” is all kind of a Marxist \ Muslim extremist wet dream.

Aside from the Ukraine(not by much), those are some of the most hideous places one could solicit migration from. How are high rates of illiteracy, very low level skills, and an abysmal work ethic seen as being of any sort of benefit to the United States?

Worry, exactly. A rational immigration system wouldn’t entertain this idiocy. The Diversity Visa Lottery Program is really an affirmative program on behalf of America’s enemies. It gives an undeserved ticket to people who hate our country and who wish to do it harm. We would want to bring in people with talents or skills who can contribute to improving America for every one’s benefit. No one is pretending this program is intended to facilitate that objective.

And its racist to give people places to enter this country not on merit but because of skin color, national origin, religion, etc. That’s not what America is all about. This program is even worse than its companion Visa Waiver Program.

Anyone familiar with how ANSER operated while Obama worked for it will be suspicious as to just how much of a “glitch” this was. Bet nobody will ever find who’s messed up in the chain of responsibility.

I have no desire to move my family to Bangladesh, and I don’t want any of them here. We have to slow things down. BTW…they will win the case because it will no doubt cause some undue hardship or some shit. All the sacrifices made by so many veterans in so many wars and we just piss away our once beautiful country. We GIVE it away. Breaks my heart

Hey, that affirmative action for diversity is still not diversified enough. It does not include us, the galactic federation aliens. Please tell you state department to include us, the Greys, Reptilians, Zeta Reticulans, Pleiadians, and a whole lots more galactic races out there. We’ll surely help destroy America faster if you include us in your green card lottery. As of now, what some of us are doing is abducting and mutilating your cattles for our experiment. Imagine if you allow us to abduct and dissect Americans, we’ll surely do it much faster than those idiot Muslims. So, please revise you green card lottery, it’s not diversified enough.

I’d like to inform you that their case is not going to be won. I’m among the selected applicants and was happy till the glitch thing, but I will not file suit because I think those people want to pressurize the government into accepting them. Also, the lottery is a courtesy of Uncle Sam, and they need to learn to appreciate gifts like this. As a Christian, I hope the lottery becomes corrected and I hope I get re-selected, specially that my family half of which live in MA, SC, and NC.
